Hey guys, it's been a few weeks since I posted a new member thread, and now I am making good on my promise to start a build thread. I bought my metro for a good amount of cash ($1100). I was really looking for a festiva, but this was about as clean as I could hope for, so I jumped on the deal. For pictures of the metro, look for my thread "new in town" in the intro section. So, on to the build. Tonight I picked up a running and driving 1998 Honda CRV. It is awd, manual, and in pretty damn good shape overall. As you can see where this is going, I am planning to create an awd, Honda powered Geo Metro. It will be naturally aspirated to start, followed by either turbocharged or twincharged after that. Some specs for you guys: 98 crv: 2.0 non vtec 126hp/131tq Awd Manual and here are a few pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() and last but not least, I lost my key temporarily, so the first modification I did to my car was to put a push button start on it, haha. Well that video hasn't posted, so I'll post it up tomorrow. Also, I'll post a small video of my old 99 crv that I switched the stock awd system out with a range rover driveshaft. thanks for looking!

Well, so much for videos off of photobucket, mightmight have to upload them to youtube. I started tearing the motor out of the crv, and I also scored a killer deal on a b 16 head, which I don't expect you guys to know about, but it's an extremely high flowing Honda head, with vtec, which n/a on a b20 adds about 40whp. Here is a pointless picture: ![]() More to follow |

Also, I'm glad you picked a Metro instead of a Festiva...we need more fast Metros. |

Hahaha, it's funny because there are a lot of fast festys, relatively that is (13 second cars, a few in the 12's), but there are hardly any quick metros.... |

There's a tube car that was in the 9 seconds. (not a Metro at all) and a Suzuki Swift aka Geo Metro that's in the 10s, but those are complete outliers. The Festivas benefit from being able to use Mazda stuff, right? Edited by Coche Blanco, Jun 7 2014, 08:16 PM.

The tube car was a guy from my town, nasty grand national motor... and yeah, Mazda 323 gt/gtx stuff is pretty easy to swap to a festy. I was planning the same drive train for a festy that I'm doing now though, so the chassis really didn't matter which way I went, because it's pretty much all custom... |

![]() ![]() Well took all sorts of time, but the motor and trans are out of the crv, getting partially cleaned, as most of the motor was black from soot.... |

![]() ![]() Not much to report today. Mocked up the aftermarket intake I had lying around on the motor to take some measurements for physically fitting the engine in the geo engine bay |
